Greetings,

I am currently playing with my first 'real' loom; a table-top,
4-harness beauty that came without the instruction book.  After
years of dabbling with a child's rigid heddle, 'craft' loom, I feel
as though I've gone from a tricycle to a souped-up Austin Martin
speedster. (GAAAHHHH!)  But I'm in love with it... now if I can ever
get the heddle-levers figured out!

Last month, our HomeMakers Guild had a class on drop spindles and
everyone seemed to catch on ... except me.  Think I'll wait until I
can 'acquire' a spinning wheel.  All I made was a mess!

I truly am in awe of you marvelous folk who are so accomplished at
spinning & weaving.  I can only hope to plod along at the rear of
this wonderful group.  Mainly, I just want to sit and listen...

Still dreaming,

Shanahan
